This is one of the apps that I am currently working and it is going to be released soon to Beta Zone.

With Call Blocker (only for BB 10.3) you will be able to:

• Block specific phone numbers and contacts
• Group numbers and contacts
• Block unknown numbers
• Specify number criteria (Exactly the same, Starts with, Ends with, Includes)
• Enable/Disable lock for a number/contact
• Delete a number/contact
• Enable/Disable all locks for a group
• Delete a group
• Headless App

Let me know what you think and what would you add.

Some screenshots:

Cool, will surely check it out!

Could you please confirm whether it blocks the call right away (so the person calling gets the busy tone immediately) , or whether there is a delay and the caller can hear the phone ring for a second or so? Most call blocking apps on BlackBerry have that delay which isn't exactly on par because it just sounds like you see them calling and press the red button. I know it's a detail and it doesn't matter of you just need to block some advertising calls, but it makes a difference when you're blocking a person Thanks in advance!

Is this available now for devices running 10.2.1? I thought the specific API to block certain caller is only available for OS 10.3?

I think this is for 10.3 only?

Call screen, ringtone sounds and vibration may be still present, but a half fraction of a second.
I am working to make it almost null.

Only for 10.3

Hey Gaspertrix, great that you're starting another app. However I strongly urge you to not name the app "call blocker". There are way too many apps with that name and your app might be mistaken to be another or it will be drowned out. Just my opinion.

Also your app should have a stand out logo that's not just a phone with an X. It should be something striking and have a name other than call blocker.

Good point, but on the other hand, if someone who doesn't read this forum is searching for a call blocking app, the first thing they will search for is "call blocker"...

Hopefully it has enough downloads and good reviews that it comes up as the first result...

Great post and app.

Looking forward to it.

I want to know if it is possible to add the number from the phone app itself rather than adding the numbers manually.

Just a suggestion, keep the UI minimalist and blazing fast app

Also, other than this, what all apps you are looking to build?

And when we will have igrann app update? Waiting desperately.

Thanks a lot for all these wonderful apps.

Not possible to share a number from Phone app, but you will be able to share a contact from Contacts app.

iGrann update is on the way and I will be creating new threads about upcoming apps.

So what does the CALLER experience was the actual question? I'm interested in the answer, and the app!


My number is very similar to a welfare pharmacy, and I get frequent calls from the same 25-20 people who are too ignorant to correct their contacts / phone # lists. Can't wait to block them. P

Ooh, I'll be looking out for this. And I'll be giving it a try when it's in the beta zone.

I'll have to reinstall 10.3 then.

I wish this app gets a simultaneous release when 10.3 / 10.3.1 Comes out

Z30 | Z30STA100-2/10.2.1.3247 | Globe PH

Give him the option to backup and restore settings and numbers

There is another thread with this app around somewhere. I tried it with both 296 and now 700 doesn't work no matter how I write out the numbers.

It will be great if one can block a caller number within the the phone app, instead of going to the app itself. IPhone has this which is fantastic. In actual fact this should be very basic function that BlackBerry should automatically include in the new release of 10.3. I have tried to use many of android apps, and the don't actually work, headless or not!!!
Very much needed app.

Any update?

Still haven't found this app on beta zone

[teostar]

I had tried back when I had the. 700 hybrid but it didn't work. Now on the latest .1052 full os it still doesn't work.

@OP has there been any progress with this app?

I have some problems with Beta Zone.
I will be uploading the bar file and to BB World later this weekend.

[sauron4]

Sounds good! Will have to wait for 10.3 to be released to use this though.
